So, A. A scenario which is never going to happen in actual gameplay, and B. Awful pilots who insist on flying high just because they can.
Maybe it's because I'm on PS4, but I have never had a problem with lock-on weapons while piloting, nor have any of my usual squad's dedicated pilots. In fact, I usually have more problems with those damn fly-by-wire missiles since the only real way to avoid them is to pray the user is awful with them.

Maybe I'll at least be able to eventually say that my majority of airborne deaths by mines were caused by mines actually designed to attack air vehicles.
I think I've lost track of how many times I've lost a jet to a SLAM after ramming a chopper if my strafe run doesn't kill it right away.

Speaking of that, when exactly did putting Landmines on Helicopters as some counter to Jets become popular? Doesn't quite have the same ring to it as the Jihad Jeep and C4 UAV had. And on that, why do I never see Jihad Jeeps anymore? Saw it plenty in BF3, but it seems non-existent now.

Dunno if this is the reason, but at least in my experience, its probably because of how weak the jeeps are now. if you bump into anything at a decent speed you explode. It seems like 4 out of 5 times when I take a jeep to get somewhere I accidentally hit a random rock or bit of wall and just die
fuck, i really like the AWS but the fact that the paints only affect the stock and the handle really sucks
Is there any way to dim the HUD/UI/Whatever the fuck the objectives and player info is because it's so big and obnoxious and it's getting me killed by people I can't even see.
Will i be able to get Naval Strike weapons right now, if i dont own dlc? (imnot premium)

The term "AA [B]Mine[/B] was a very misleading choice. That and the image made me think it was going to be a balloon of some sort - or a manhack.
They should have just called it "AA Turret."

IIRC DICE listened to all the people bitching about it and made it so C4 doesn't do as much damage if it's not placed directly underneath or on the side of the vehicle. Kinda dumb seeing how that has been a thing since 1942. What you get when you market towards CoD kids
Edit: Now that I think about it, Jihad Jeeps might be a counter to active protection.
two bits of c4 can still destroy pretty much any vehicle though, which is fine for me since i always the button if im close.
Just Jihad Jeeped my way to the AWS. Worked out as expected, hop out like 30 meters and have the vehicle slam into it, boom.

Jihad jeeping is alive and well, unfortunately, and I can't even count the number of times some jihad jeeper was able to kill me because of how buggy staff shells are.

for me it was some super scary thing which fucking flies at you when you're in range
basically a rocket but with a red lens or something
Anyone know reliable sources where I can buy Premium upgrade for around £25?
[QUOTE=cyanidem;44182151]Anyone know reliable sources where I can buy Premium upgrade for around £25?[/QUOTE]
Keep your eye on [sp]Kinguin.net[/sp] - I got mine there for that price but I haven't seen it at that price in a while.
Wow, some maps are just so unbalanced for helicopters due to lack of any cover to hide or dodge behind to avoid missiles, just like that Golmund Railway map. I very often now find myself ignoring spawning in helos on that map because they last just a few seconds before getting pinged out the sky.
I can just imagine how even shittier it will be with the presence of AA mines firing up your ass while someone is spamming manpad missiles at you, aswell as a mobile AAA and jets.

Staff shells can't hit fast-moving targets and I think it's intentional. Ditto with most lock-ons except when it's laser-designated. Otherwise, using a transport vehicle would be a death sentence pretty much every time.

What did you expect?
idk, something better than a camo, dog tag, scope for a weapon i don't use, and a knife skin
the xp boost is nice, coulda used two or three more of those.
If I remember right it was known that the Vet pack contained all of that.
Took a 1000 ticket Metro server but I finally got two kill assists ribbons by spamming grenades. Whats the general consensus on the F2000?
M16A2 with a bipod and agoc is really great thing. Specially in maps with open ground. I prefer it without the heavy barrel though. Because then its easier to shoot when not using bipod.

it's a p beast weapon
The F2000 has a lot of side to side recoil though. I honestly like the ARX-160 better. It feels likes it handles along the lines of the L85, which I really like. I just wish the reload animation wasnt broken.
Even though I don't own the DLC, on paper the ARX160 has the same recoil stats as the SCAR-H, all be it the ARX160 firing 80rpm faster. It seems like a pretty pointless weapon compared to the other assault weapons at your disposal.

I don't disagree, but about 20% of my deaths happened while jumping over fences, passing over tiny rocks, bumping cars into terrain, and those awful but miraculous "killed in action", when I wondered what killed me.
Case in point:
